Integrated Assessment Modelling (IAM) is a multidisciplinary approach used to evaluate complex environmental issues by integrating knowledge from various fields, including economics, environmental science, technology, and policy analysis. In the context of air quality and climate change, IAM provides a comprehensive framework to explore the interactions between human activities, pollutant emissions, and environmental impacts over time.
By incorporating various sectors—such as energy, transportation, industry, and agriculture—integrated assessment models for air quality and climate change enable the exploration of pathways to mitigate adverse environmental and health outcomes, while also considering economic and societal trade-offs.
